Right now, today, people are raising human clones.  They walk among us,
with no labels, no warnings.  They aren't tagged, we aren't tracing their
movements.

People are producing human clones.  They don't need a license.  They are
allowed to begin the arduous process without any kind of approval, or
registration.  Furthermore, they receive *assistance* from the medical
community.  The censure you would expect is simply not forthcoming; instead,
doctors offer a variety of support services, ranging from advice to medical
treatment, medication, and other attempts to ensure that the clones are
successfully raised.

No special registration is required.  The clones are simply treated as normal
children.  Often, they aren't even told that they're clones.  Some are raised
separately; horrible experiments have been done to try to "isolate" their
"genetic qualities".

The first commercial use of human clones was in the 1930's. They were used
by a manufacturer of organic (and later synthetic) rubber products, as a
sort of "mascot"; the manufacturer tried to use their strange sameness as
a kind of focus for product recognition.

Something has to be done.
